Interventions
The first group will receive a 300mg loading dose (LD) of clopidogrel on the day of randomization, followed by 75 mg clopidogrel/day from Day 2 to 3 months. ASA will be given in a total dose ranging between 75 mg and 300 mg (open label) on the first day, followed by blinded 75 mg once /day from Day 2 to Day 21st. Between Day 21st and 3-month visits, ASA 75 mg will be replaced by a placebo of ASA 75 mg.
The second group will receive open label ASA in a total dose ranging between 75 mg and 300 mg on the first day, followed by blinded 75 mg once /day from Day 2 to 3 months. A placebo for clopidogrel will be given from the day of randomization until the 3-month visit.
